Fulton County elections staff told the Board of Registration and Elections on Nov. 6 that operations ran two elections concurrently and provided registration and absentee statistics for October. Staff also briefed the board on planning and cost projections for the State Senate District 35 special election and a potential runoff.

Chief Glenn (sometimes referenced as Chief Quinn in the meeting record) read October operations statistics and a staff member said the department had handled thousands of applications and routine customer contacts; some numerical details in the public record were garbled in the transcript. Staff reported 1,774 new registrations in the month and said 1,191 removals were processed (with categories including deceased and moved out of state). Staff said they handled 322 customers at four offices and removed duplicate records as part of routine maintenance.

Board members questioned staff about an estimated $281,000 cost for a District 35 runoff and the number of polling places; staff said the estimate is their current projection and that there are 17 election‑day locations for the district. Director Williams said county management was contacted for additional funds and that management approved a request to reallocate funds; staff said they were moving funds within the department to cover unexpected costs.

Members raised concerns about data consistency between local records and the secretary of state's My Voter Page. Staff explained that county records are maintained in the county system (Jarvis) and that the secretary of state’s My Voter Page displays the state‑hosted view of that data; staff said the county scans and archives source documents and will research specific discrepancies when provided with names or case details.

The board and staff discussed provisional ballots and the cure process. Staff described that a provisional ballot is used when a voter's presented information does not match county records; the provisional process provides a short window to research and "cure" the ballot so the vote can be counted. Staff said voters can verify whether a provisional ballot was counted via My Voter Page and that the department mails notices explaining cure outcomes.

Actions taken during this portion of the meeting included voice votes approving the agenda and approving minutes from the Oct. 9 meeting. A motion to move into pre‑certification was made and adopted by voice vote. The board recessed into pre‑certification work; after canvassing, members reconvened and adjourned by voice vote.
